Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

Many Thanks To Alfa6 For Finding Capt. Lefon's Chronicle Of "The Empty Chair."

Awww...Kathy! Bless her heart! I hope he can give her something to give her some relief and reduce the swelling some.

Without surgery all y’all can do is try to be comfortable. I know it makes her frustrated.

Take your time...we’re gonna be here for a long time. LOL!

I wish you were the CIC!

America would be far better off!

Of course, then you wouldn’t have any time for us here on FR.

But I think we would make that sacrifice.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

My pleasure, Ma! ;-)

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much for the kind words, ML! If I were CIC, the apparatchiks of the Lamesream Media would be asking questions of my Press Secretary, Jim Robinson, and FR would be the official conduit for information from The People's House! Allen West would be SECDEF and Foggy Bottom, Kerry, and the Hildebeast would be in chains.

If i were CIC,
Allen West Would Be my SECDEF
Sarah Palin Sec of the Interior
Ted Cruz would be my VP
John Bolton my Sec of State
Herman Cain would be in charge of FTC
Ted Nugent in Charge of the FCC

And YOU would be my AG! LOL!

Hey, Luv.

(HUGS)

Checking in briefly. I'll be at the Canteen tomorrow night for a Rocumentary dedicated to the songbook of the late Tandyn Almer.

Howdy, Mr. P! ((((hugs))))

Look forward to it...because I have no idea who that is and know I’ll learn something from you! :)

[Publius]

Do you remember “Along Comes Mary” by the Association from 1966? Do you remember those strange lyrics that came at you at high speed? Almer wrote 75 songs, and I was able to find videos of 10 of them for tomorrow night.

You're right, Spel - I did indeed! I'm still working on functions for them to perform in the revitalized Land of the Free.

On one level, I should just consign them to the "mercies" (BWAHAHA) of the Islamists, but that would just not be Christian, would it?

Holder should be sentenced to an eternity of sitting at a school-desk in front of my 5th Grade teacher, Sr. Mary Madonna, practicing Palomar penmanship. I know she's available - my crummy penmanship was her road to Salvation. She's ready, rested and waiting!

Jarrett? Perhaps consigning her to an eternity of serving as a Court Clerk in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Juvenile Division, would be in order. Let her see society from that hopeless point of view for the rest of her life, punching the clock and putting the stamp on another lost generation.

If there was an adult Commander-in-Chief our brave fighting forces would not be fighting in the dark, without flashlights, and arms tied behind their back. Sadly, we don't have an adult C-i-C.
